I think the Southampton fans moan way too much. that's why we're not scoring at home. Puel's had some really bad luck this season. All was fine until Happol Beer Sheva at home. Then Fonte put in transfer request and Austin got bad injury in same week, and we were unfortunate to draw game and go out. We had been playing well before that.
Then Van Dijk got bad injury too. Our best 2 players out for the season, and our 2 centre backs both out.
We should show more solidarity, and Puel should obviously be given more time, but grown men go around acting like spoilt brats these days.

I agree some fans moan too much but most of Puel's downfall is his own doing. Exiting Europa was all down to rotation and poor selection. our squad isn't good enough or big enough to rotate! He can't understand the number of games we play because he came from a 'tin pot' league, doesn't work here! Chelsea won the league with the LEAST changes! We had the 3rd most! Our best spell this season and the way we played was when we kept the same team around the EFL final! That is no coincidence! I feel sorry for our strikers, they can't get any rhythm when they are the main man one week and not even on the bench the next! Ridiculous! They can't get any 'form' like that! He has started rotating again and poor performances. so boring! He sets up a strong defensive display at Liverpool to get a hard earned point which is great and then plays the same way at home to Hull! One striker! Shocking! I would prefer another manager, but if he stays he needs to change his mentality or we could struggle next season!

Chelsea won the league as the only team to use all 3 subs every game (so far) . We would of struggled even more with injury and fatigue if he hadn't of rotated, he's been a europa league coach for years and that was one of his selling points that the club looked at when appointing him,
Our squad has massively increased in quality over recent years and all players are pretty much on a level setting when it comes to match day. They train 4-5 days a week together and all know that it's a team game, you may be in one week but sat on the bench the next. Imagine if we had no injuries . Who would you play and who would be benched thinking I could get a game somewhere else.

If he is a good Europa league why was he so tactically inept to go out so meekly against very poor opposition! No way has our Squad increased in quality over the last 2 years! We are carrying Davis, Forster, Long etc. too many average players not good enough to push on! We are so many points behind in 8th it is so false! We even only stayed there because everyone else lost today! How shocking was that today. can't even play 2 strikers at home. Austin did alright. don't take him off to bring Gabbiadini on. play them together. not rocket science! I agree players are on a level setting. all pretty average especially midfield with the exception of Oriel! If your views are still the same after that shite I have just watched . good luck to you Romsaint . you are watching a different sport to me! Rotation for Saints is ridiculous!

It was Austin's first game for 5, 6 months, I think he did the right thing taking him off, standard practise. When did you ever see a player play his first game in 5 months, and play for more than 60- 70 minutes?
Sorry but some saints fans 'don't know what they're doing'! Lol.
